"Huh? Whats do you mean their back?" Blaze wondered as she walked down the stairs.

"The killer! Me and Sonic were out in the garden and all of a sudden he or she attacked us!" Amy yelled still trembling with the fact she was still gathering her thoughts.

"I guess I can go look and see if I can get this person." Shadow said preparing for battle with the mysterious person.

"Shadow are you out of your mind? That maniac is still out there!" Sonic replied.

Shadow didn't listen and headed out into the garden with a weapon prepared to attack anything that jumped at him. He looked around and put his weapon down by his side and turned around while the others were watching him carefully.

"See? There is no one..." Shadow was interrupted by the rustling noises in the bushes. Shadow moved the branches out of the way and there laid a injured Sally.

"Hey guys come here!" Shadow yelled as he try to get Sally out of the bushes.

"Sally? What happened to you? Hang on tell me once we get you inside. Blaze help me for a second." Amy tried to get someone to help her get Sally inside.

(once inside)

"Fine, you want to know what happened, then I will tell you from the very beginning." Sally said with a blanket around her.

She told them everything. She told them she had planned to kill them all in the castle and that she had some people kill Rouge and Knuckles for her. Then she told them that she was ambushed by her partners because they complained about doing all of the dirty work and had attacked her after wards.

"So you made the plan, but who are the people that killed two of our friends and attack me and Amy?"

"Fine, you want to know so bad. It was..." Sally was interrupted.

The whole room went dark and a gunshot came in the castle and it echoed through out the room. Then the lights came back on and everyone looked around until they saw Sally. She had been shot through the head. Everyone almost panicked once they soon realized that the killer is still on the loose.

"Well that was odd." Tails said trembling still on the floor.

"Agreed." Shadow said standing.

"Well if Sally isn't the murderer, then...who is?" Blaze said.
